IMPRovEM-ENTHIN cHURNs.

'I The' Schedule referred to Vin these Lettere Patent and making part of `the same.

I' i I r To all whom tt may concern Be it known that I, STEPHENS, ULnnY, of North Manchester, in the county of Wabash, and State of Indiana, have invented an Improvement in Churns; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear-and exact description thereof, ,which will enable those skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference heilig had to the accompanying drawings, and letters marked thereon, making a part of this description, in which- Figure 1 is a perspective representation of my in-V ventioIL Figure 2, an elevation of the dashers removed from `the other parts. p

The present inventionrelates to an improvement in that classof churus which is provided with a' dasher, operated by a lever .placed above the lid and i lts nature consists in the novel means employed tol regulate the lengt-h of stroke which the dasbers are to have relative to each other, in combination withpeculiarly-eonstrncted dashers, as the wholeis hereinafter described.

, K represents the body of the churn, whichwill be' better adapted to the working-device if itfis made about one-half part longer than it' is wide, and which provided with a lid, J, shutting down closely on to the part K in the usual manner. l

A11 adjustable support, G, is fastened to the lid J, bylneans of set-screws II, put through slots H, which are made transversely through the support, near itsl ends, as shownatiig. l.

(lo this support G is attached a vertical standard, C, foigthe purpose of receiving the pivot F, on which a lever, A,.has an oscillating motion.`

This lever A is provided with a' slot, N, toreceive the standard C and upper endsof dasher-rods B B,

and it is provided with holes"to receive 4the pivots Dy D, with which the rods andV level-are connected, a` eentreehole to receive the pivot F, and a hole, E, at

each side of the centre-hole, to receive the' pivot F, when one ofthe dashe'rs, L', is to have a greater length of stroke than the other, as set forth underthehead of operation. I

Each dasher consists of va perforated cap, L', two inclined .perforated agit-ators N N, boxed up by end-pieces M, fig. 2, and att-ached, to a rod, B, which passes through an opening, L, in the lid J, and fastens to the pivot D, as stated.

Operation.

This arrangement is such, that if the endsare graspedl with `the hands, and given an yoscilla-tim g motion, the f dashers will `have the usual vertical reciprocating motion, and agitate the cream in barrel or-body K. To adjust the flashers for gathering butter, the pivot 1D should be removed, the set-screw I loosened, and the support J so moved toward either of thefrodsl B, that the pin F may be put, in one of the holes The screws I are then tightened, fand the d asbers are ready to operate. l

By means of this construction and arrangement, one

of the"dashers will' have a Inuch greater length of stroke than the other; consequentiybutter is forced to one end of the barrel, where it receives only short, light strokes, from the dasher hung nearestto standard 0,'ai1d, as a result, the butter will be speedily gathered into a lump, free from any salvey appeal'- Having thus described my invention, What I elainnand desire to secure by Letters Pat ent of the United States, is- Y The combination of theadjustable support G, standard C, lever A, dashers B L', and barrelKJ, constructed and arranged to operate as described.
